You were implying that those of us who like the game have stockholm syndrome, when that's a massive generalization on your part. Most of us like the game but still criticize it.

X-Kira is full of bullshit tho
Literally saying "stop liking what I don't", but okay, whatever
It's just really fucking annoying at this point. Every single thread, without fail, whether or not the thread actually has to do anything with it. I'd rather not see people pissing and moaning about the exact same shit all the time
That's like saying a journalist isn't impartial enough to write for Breitbart... Eventhubs is a sewer.
Haha, indeed.

Lmao...those who don't want arcade also complain about the same thing over and over again.load times, matchmaking, shitty cfn, netcode, frequent maintenance.
How is it any different? If you felt tired of the lack of arcade mode complain, then shouldn't u be tired of these complains as well?
Oh right...because only complains of stuff you care about are valid.

Yes they were.
They released a trailer of game modes.
Those were the game modes.
The end.
Well this thread is about "mined" content, so it's germane to it to bring up previously dubious mined content from the same guy that never came to fruition.

I'm so glad Capcom made it clear that Infinite will have an Arcade and Story Mode on release.
This SFV stuff is a mess, lol. And no, Survival Mode or setting the AI to fight at a certain difficulty in Training is not comparable to Arcade Mode whatsoever. At all.
As someone who plays fighting games competitively, I still prefer an Arcade Mode because I enjoy playing through it.

Remember Extra Battle mode? Because clearly Capcpom doesn't: http://shoryuken.com/2016/02/11/str...al-challenge-modes-provide-solo-distractions/
The difficulty is completely messed in in survival mode, it's not enjoyable. Even more so in story mode which is like 3 matches, lol.
How about reading the entire post before responding so you don't make a fool out of yourself.
The End.
If all this stuff turns out to be false it might be the last straw for some people when there are so many new fighting games hitting the market.
I think Tekken in particular sits in a prime position to eat SFV's audience right now. It's a great game that had some really entertaining tournaments the week before it comes out. It's got all the bells and whistles people complaing about being missing from SFV and has tons of mainstream appeal so I foresee it selling really well too.

Hell, some of the characters didn't even have 3 battles.
Kolin had 1 battle. F.A.N.G. had 2...against Bison.

If you're talking competitively, Tekken 7 still has to get through GGXrd & both Smash games to contest SFV competitively (T7 recently fell behind REV 2 in EVO entrants). And while I can see Tekken 7 getting ahead of Xrd, beating SFV & the Smash games competitively may be a bit of a taller order.
If you mean casually, that's another story entirely.
And an additional 80k FM to go with with said new story mode.

There's really no question. I reckon t7 on ps4 alone will outsell sfv on ps4 + PC total sales on day one. (I am talking about worldwide total sales obviously and not just NPD)

Since you're in the know about things.
Have you heard anything about the Arcade version of SFV?

SFV is an easy game to pick on. No arcade mode, mediocre sales, season dlc, etc.
But I swear you "no arcade mode" harpers are more annoying than Switch port beggars. And what's even more funny is people tell you all where to find casual fighting games and yall never there to support them, only bash sf.
Fun Fact: they could announce arcade mode tomorrow, then the hate would switch to "to little, to late capcom". Give it a rest!
Online training mode would be heaven for me and my guys. I hope it's true and I hope Capcom keeps making features that the community wants.

I wish Capcom would just add Arcade mode. Story mode is only good for earning Fight Money.
Curiously, I thought the reason people want an arcade mode is because playing against people online stresses them out and they don't really care about challenge?
The closest thing to an arcade mode is the easy survival mode. It's 10 fights. I'm quite sure whatever mode they're going to have that's an approximation of arcade won't be much better than that.
But seriously, whatever work put into an single player modes in SF5 would be better served put into new games. SF5 is a lost cause for casuals, anyway. They won't get their sales anymore.

I don't think it would be that hard to program an arcade mode. In fact the crappy story modes for all the characters could have been made into an arcade mode with 8-10 character battles with an ai (with the story mode panels lining up with specific matches versus your rivals or w/e).
I'm not saying it's hard. I'm saying it's kind of a waste of time at this point for everyone involved. They're not getting any sales back by doing that.
Like, the window to do this was a year ago.

Same here. The SP features are absolutely pathetic and I am not buying another Capcom fighter till I know exactly what the heck are on there.
What's amusing is that they even messed up arcade mode in SF2 on the Switch by not having the cars/barrels challenges.
Edit:
If they are aiming to do a physical re-release ala SFV Ultimate, having SP features would be smart. They could have updated SP, and patched in two Seasons of characters/stages and sell it for say $50.
None of this will get any sales back. Story mode 2 won't. Nothing else won't. So by this logic, why do any of this?
Only way I see Arcade mode getting put in is if they do a "super" relaunch of sorts getting new reviews and what not and maybe a new retail copy with most of the content bundled in. (existing owners will automatically get upgraded to the new version, without the extra bundled content of course)

If you read between the lines, they are setting up for it.
The casuals are asking Capcom to casually slap together an arcade mode. Being Capcom is a business, if they are going to do it, then they have to do it right. That means everyone in the game have a particular stage tied to that character, right? That means bonus stages implemented into it, correct? And each character having a unique ending attached to why they are in the SF tournament.. the ones that are asking "how hard is it" or "why" don't get that.. because.. they are casual gamers. Usually a casual gamer is a take it or leave it kind of player, but I guess not in sfv's case.
They already have Bisons old stage, vegas old stage with the wall crawl and all. Rogs old stage.. it seems they only have a few loose ends to tie up, but it takes time because they are constantly adding new characters and building the mode at the same time, imo. Probably why it's taking so long for new characters to come out now.
That's what my money's on.

I would love a season 2 story mode if
1. They fix necalli's damn role.
2. Connect it even further to 3rd strike or overlap with 3rd strike.

Take Story mode, make matches 'Best Of Three', randomize the opponents, increase opponent difficulty slightly over 12 matches, change Menu text to read 'Arcade Mode', done.

No character leaks this time?
It's more a principle of the thing; fighting games have had an arcade mode since...forever, so if you are making a fighting, regardless of roster size, you're gonna need to have it just because.
I don't know, man.
It seems like it might take'em a solid couple of days to do all that work.

I still don't understand this obsession over arcade mode
By the end of SFV's storyline/development we should be at the start of SF3.

Just try playing against people. It's not going to hurt you to lose a few fights, get a little better each time, finally win one, feel pretty chuffed about it, then have really exciting, dynamic and varied fights from then on.

It's how the vast majority of Street Fighter fans have enjoyed the series since it began.
SFV is my most played game for two years now, I exclusively play online. This doesn't mean I don't want arcade mode! Sometimes I just feel like playing a Tower in Mortal Kombat X, or playing through arcade mode in KOFXIV. It's not a mode that's difficult to implement and it's basically the only fighting game without arcade mode, even within the series. I love SFV but there's no point in defending it's shortcomings.
Survival would scratch that itch if the difficulty wasn't brain-dead for 20 matches. Always in the same order, repeating stages until you beat ten characters. It's probably the least enjoyable survival mode ever made.
